Wait till they see what managing this will look like.

Sounds like another welfare program to me!

IMHO, this is an excellent idea. More states should implement something like this. Add a work requirement, too.

“It’s a restriction that’s designed just to make the lives of those that are already struggling that much harder,” Rep. Lisa Subeck, D-Madison, told The Capital Times. “And instead, we should be focusing not on the foods people buy but on putting people to work by creating jobs that get people off of FoodShare.”

I am sick and tired of hearing this leftist clap trap. You could almost predict what the left was gonna be saying without reading the article.

Retaliation against Mickey’s?

I think we should just send them the food.

Maybe Michelle can design the diet.

What an incentive to go back to work!

I wonder how much Coke, Pepsi, Nabisco etc. paid to keep their products eligible?

Food stamps should be run like WIC..

it’s that simple.

“Most importantly food stamps should include a work requirement that requires able-bodied adults to work, prepare for work or look for work in exchange for receiving assistance,” said Sheffield.

How about a government that gets less involved, creates an environment where business can thrive, creating demand for their products/services, thereby creating the jobs people would have to be self-sufficient.....?

I would restrict purchases to beans, rice, flour, veggies, milk and little else.

[Veggie Todd]

This should come with mandatory drug testing.

Go fish ..

I personally think food stamp recipients should eat no better than our soldiers in the field of combat do.

“It’s a restriction that’s designed just to make the lives of those that are already struggling that much harder,” Rep. Lisa Subeck, D-Madison, told The Capital Times”

Yep, I agree: cutting out the free lobster and crab paid for by the taxpayers is an outrageous hardship.

[Sooth2222]

Hopefully, the price of crab and lobster will go down.

Going against the grain here...Food stamps should not be spent on alcohol or tobacco products, on this we all agree.

I do believe if we are going to provide food stamps for those in need, it is up to the adults to decide what is appropriate to feed their own families.

We either approve of the government dictating how we raise our families or we don’t. It is not a principle which applies to some but not others.

[WayneS]

Great idea. I hope they pass it.

[conservativegranny]

Why go through all the extra administrative expense? They should have to live just like the rest of us do. There is a certain amount of $$ for groceries per month. You can eat steak & lobster a couple of days and ramen noodles the rest of the month or shop frugally.

We already feed their children 2 meals a day at school. That’s more than we get.

Who cares what they eat? When the grocery money is gone it’s gone. Unless the government thinks that poor people are just dumber than the rest of us.

[goldstategop]

Idiots.

Seafood is healthy for you and doesn’t make you gain a lot of weight.

Buying it frozen can be a good deal.

[txrefugee]

If Mooshell can dictate the food served to school schools, certainly WI legislators can do the same. At least they are elected.

[WorkingClassFilth]

About time.
